ABSTRACT
Broiler farming is dealing with a series of difficulties owing to various infectious and non-infectious diseases. The present study was designed to monitor the prevalence of coccidiosis in broiler chicken at randomly selected broiler poultry farms in Sylhet, Bangladesh. The study encompasses faecal examination and identification of Eimeria oocyst by microscopic examination. A Faecal flotation technique and McMaster technique were implemented on 384 faecal specimens and around 316 cases were positive for Eimeria oocyst giving the overall prevalence of 82.29%. In supplement, this study confirms that the prevalence of coccidiosis mainly in subclinical form is yet an immense burden in broiler farms, and bio-security measurement should be administered in every farm.
